Hello to everyone...

I know that many of you know me, and some of you do not, so, let me begin with saying, I am Lithium. I identify as a switch on the flip side, mainly because I have a very Dominant husband, he is in fact Master of our home, yet I own a female submissive.

I have a few questions from you girls, be you Free, single, slaves, what have you, and I am hoping to get a wide variety of answers...Or at least some food for thought.

I am having some issues with my girl, mainly because I train her like I would train a slave. She is not a slave, tho she does try to do her best, bless her little heart, she does try to meet every expectation, and to even go above them. And on a day to day basis, she does great.  Love that girl I do.

Anyway, what I am wondering, from those of you that are in chains, or out of them due to the lack of them, or you Ladies that have maybe been around longer than I have, and can answer these things....

Do you have days where you feel you do nothing right? even if some one is standing over you telling you that you are?

Do you get emotional when you get corrected? And if so, why? What makes that better for you?

How do you feel the best way to correct or be corrected so that your feelings dont get hurt may be?

When it comes to service of a Mistress, versus service of a Master, do you feel there is a broad difference? What kind of difference do you see? Is it better? Or worse?

Do you hope for different things from a Mistress versus what you would hope for from a Master?

Is it harder to see a woman as a Dominant figure versus a man?

Thats alot for now, I am sure I will have more as I go along. I know some of these may seem ignorant, but I would like some ideas and input, and maybe just some words of..." I know how you feel" so I can send my girl here to know that she isnt alone, and others have been where she is.

Thanks in advance, I am sure your words and input will be invaluable.

Lithi.

Greetings Mistress Lithium

Do you have days where you feel you do nothing right? even if some one is standing over you telling you that you are?

Yes

Do you get emotional when you get corrected? And if so, why? What makes that better for you?

Yes, my emotional reaction (though most would never know there was an emotional reaction at all) reflects the fact that the person who corrected me had either my highest respect or I had a closeness to them on some level enough (even as acquaintances in passing on a regular basis) that my feelings became hurt because I disappointed them. While I strive to be perfect,(a once upon a time perfectionist) I'm not, I make mistakes, but I am grateful for the correction, the time a free took to do so and the learning that comes from it.

How do you feel the best way to correct or be corrected so that your feelings dont get hurt may be?

It's okay that my feelings are hurt. Even when I cry. It's actually a good thing for me. This means the person has enough impact on me to that I care enough to try harder not to falter again or make the same mistake again.

When it comes to service of a Mistress, versus service of a Master, do you feel there is a broad difference? What kind of difference do you see? Is it better? Or worse?

I do not see a broad difference other than intimacy or sexuality. Master's truly make my belly flutter and hold me to a higher standard. And a few Mistresses have helped me grow to keep me to that standard. Most have already been where I still am now.

Do you hope for different things from a Mistress versus what you would hope for from a Master?

No, I am eager to be treated the same by both in regards to my nature as a slave. Swiftly.

Is it harder to see a woman as a Dominant figure versus a man?

No, that's natural order for them.


Respectfully,
~twinkle

Greetings Mistress Lithi,

I definitely have days and times when I feel like nothing I do is good enough (right) what snaps me out of it is when He asks me if it is my place to judge, then of course I say no, then he says "so you don't trust me" or "so you are questioning my judgement" then I realize that really is what I am doing and just hearing it makes me stop and puts my focus back on him instead of myself.

I get emotional when I am corrected because I always want to be found pleasing. Why shouldn't your feelings be hurt when you are corrected? There is a difference in being taught something and being corrected.

I have not found much difference serving a Master vs serving a Mistress. I hope for the same things and if the woman is more dominant naturally then I will react to it just as I would a man.

well wishes
kisshou

Do you have days where you feel you do nothing right? even if some one is standing over you telling you that you are?
Absolutely. I am a perfectionist and hold myself to far higher standards than anyone else. When I fail to meet my own preconceived standards of perfection it really matters very little what someone else tells me. I will still feel that I have failed in some way.

Those days are getting fewer and farther between, fortunately. It is something I had to work on though; realizing that I am a perfectionist and accepting that no one is perfect therefore my standards were unreasonable and I was setting myself up to fail.


Do you get emotional when you get corrected? And if so, why? What makes that better for you?
Not always but sometimes, yes. A lot of it depends on -how- I am being corrected. If you just tell me I did something wrong and won't tell me what I did or how I did it wrong, then I am more likely to become frustrated with myself for being too dense to "get it" ...

For me, break it down. -This- is what was wrong. Fix -this- and it will be right. Some people call that spoonfeeding. I call it efficient leadership skills.


How do you feel the best way to correct or be corrected so that your feelings dont get hurt may be?
That is a tough one to answer. Sometimes it doesn't matter how one is corrected. You just have to learn not to take it so personally and get on with yourself. Of course, being demeaning or humiliating when offering correction is counter-productive to that but thats about the best I can come up with.

When it comes to service of a Mistress, versus service of a Master, do you feel there is a broad difference? What kind of difference do you see? Is it better? Or worse?
In my experience serving a Mistress was different in that she was easier to relate to than he was. With him it felt like I was working for him whereas I was working with her. I was more relaxed when it was just me and her but that may have had to do with her personality. She was a very soothing, peaceful woman. I don't think it was better or worse either way; just different.

Do you hope for different things from a Mistress versus what you would hope for from a Master?
Yes, definitely. Then again, I am not interested in serving women sexually whereas I am hoping my next Master makes good use of my girlies.

Is it harder to see a woman as a Dominant figure versus a man?

This is my opinion and it may offend some but honestly I do not see women as dominant, period. My mistress was a woman who was in a position of authority over me but she was not dominant. I am a woman who is in a position of authority at times and I am a good leader in that position, however I am not a dominant woman. So, for me, it is impossible to see a woman as a dominant figure. I may look up to her as a potential leader and I may respect her as one who has authority over me but I won't see her as dominant.

Hi Lithium,
Woman, I get emotional over  EVERYTHING...lol..it is called menepause (spelling)

If I know I am in the wrong, when I get corrected and yes, even FW get corrected , even if I do not admit it out of stubborness, Later I will always calm down and admit it, thats when the tears come...lmao
However, when I am in the right. I stand my ground and will not back down or off for nothing  and no tears get shed, but someone ends up getting shredded...lol

As to your question concerning, how one should be corrected, well with slaves it depends...cuz if the situation is right, if you correct them openly, it may help to get other slaves to learn and understand.
As for Free, I feel they should always take it private, yrs back, Free did not chastize each other infront of slaves, it just was not their business to see or hear...and I still feel that way, today.

anyways, hopes this lil bit helped.

It's not just the 'girlies'. I was watching a male submissive put his socks on upside down one day (heel at the top of the foot) and suggested they might be more comfortable put on correctly. He burst out with: "you don't like anything I do do you?!"

I was slightly shocked at the outburst. Sorry, I don't remember My exact response - probably something about correction being My job. In the end of the relationship though it was as you said with the girl - he wasn't a slave.

Greetings Mistress Lithium,

Do you have days where you feel you do nothing right? even if some one is standing over you telling you that you are?

I think almost everyone has those days, and I think a lot of it has to do with factors that may be outside of the immediate situation.  Drawing from a recent personal experience, my best friend called me up a couple days ago, telling me that she feels our friendship has run its course and she can't support my decision to be a slave as well as being a mother.  Basically she told me never to call her again.  That night, before Master and I had had a chance to discuss it, he came in and I had forgotten to do something he had asked me to do, he corrected me for it, and I came out with "no one cares about me, I can't do anything that makes anyone happy, why do I even bother?"  Needless to say, Master was completely floored, and asked me where that was all coming from.  Once I told him about the rest of my day, he understood.  But my response to him, and my feeling of doing everything wrong came from something entirely outside of our "dynamic" for lack of a better term.  I find most often, when I am feeling I can't do anything right, even when I have been praised for performing something he has asked of me, it has more to do with external factors.

Do you get emotional when you get corrected? And if so, why? What makes that better for you?

I get emotional when corrected.  The emotions aren't always the same.  I would say the vast majority of the time, it is a feeling of dissapointment in myself for not living up to his expectations, when, by now, I should know his thoughts almost as well as I know my own.  A tiny percentage of the time when I get corrected the emotional response is anger or frustration, because I am being corrected or punished for something I had no idea of the expectations on, but again that comes from the fact he does expect me to be able to extrapolate his expectations from similar situations, and I am no good at being a mind reader sometimes *chuckles*.  This is actually something we have discussed, because it does cause such a negative reaction in me, so he has worked more at not expecting me to read his mind.  I think that it is harder on me to *not* be corrected though, because it gives me the feeling that he doesn't care wether I am good bad or otherwise.  Like twinkle, although I may get emotional when corrected, I am always greatful in the end (though sometimes it takes longer than others) for him taking the time to correct me.

How do you feel the best way to correct or be corrected so that your feelings dont get hurt may be?
Again, I agree with twinkle, it is a good thing that my feelings get hurt.  It gives me the drive to do better, to be more pleasing.  In a way I relate it to correcting an um...if you correct them and tell them they have done wrong while hugging and kissing them, they get mixed signals.  The efficency of the correction comes from the re enforement afterwards that you still love them, even if they did screw up and disappoint you.

When it comes to service of a Mistress, versus service of a Master, do you feel there is a broad difference? What kind of difference do you see? Is it better? Or worse?

For myself, I have only served a Mistress once, and briefly.  For me there was a vast difference.  With the Mistress I served, we connected in a way that only two women can, but in a lot of ways that diminished my ability to serve her, because I saw her first as a buddy and secondly as a Mistress.  The reverse is true with my Master, I see him first as my Master, and secondly as my friend.  I wouldn't say one is better or worse, I would only say, that for me, I am more comfortable in the dynamic that exists between myself and a Master.

Do you hope for different things from a Mistress versus what you would hope for from a Master?

Hmm...this is a hard one to answer.  For me to feel my slavery I would hope for things to be the same wether the person I had surrendered to was male or female.

Is it harder to see a woman as a Dominant figure versus a man?

Personally, yes, I do have a harder time viewing another woman as a Dominant figure.  It has more to do with the fact that any Dominant women I have known were far less Dominant that the Dominant men that I have known, than to being able to see a woman as a Dominant figure.

wishing you well,

Greetings Mistress,

  Do you have days where you feel you do nothing right? Even if some one is standing over you telling you that you are?

  Everyday.  So many things can and do affect our service, and our perceptions of how well we are doing.  Like kisshou said, we need something to help readjust our thinking back to focus on the one we serve rather than ourselves.  Although tressure can't speak for the others, if someone is standing over her and saying, "You are doing fine,  everything's great." , she feels sometimes that it is not always sincere, and that they may be saying that to help her feel better.

Do you get emotional when you get corrected? And if so, why? What makes that better for you?

  tressure isn't sure she knows a slave that doesn't get emotional when corrected.  Slaves, that tressure knows, tend to place a high importance on doing things correctly.  When we don't, we tend to see it as a failure, and then we tend to punish ourselves for that failure.  Logic doesn't really factor in when that lovely circle is going on.  What makes it better?  Time.  Doing it correctly and not messing up other things. 

How do you feel the best way to correct or be corrected so that your feelings don't get hurt may be?

  This may come off as flippant, but is there one?  As she said previously, most slaves of her acquitance tend to get upset when corrected.  We feel that we have failed, and we must atone for that failure.

When it comes to service of a Mistress, versus service of a Master, do you feel there is a broad difference? What kind of difference do you see? Is it better? Or worse?  

A lot depends on the definition of service.  tressure personally would have a difficult time serving a Mistress in a intimate setting.  But basic service is the same.  It is still, at its core, about pleasing the person you are serving to the best of your ability.  Serving a Mistress tends to, for tressure, mean a bit less overt flirting and a more serious demeanor.

Do you hope for different things from a Mistress versus what you would hope for from a Master?

  Actually going to have to say no to this one.  She still wants to please whom she is serving. 

Is it harder to see a woman as a Dominant figure versus a man?

  For tressure, yes.  tressure is a very dominant slave.  If you can't keep control over her, she will walk over you.  Most women tend to try to be tressure's friend rather than a dominant figure to her.  Those that have been dominant to her, it is not hard to see why, since they simply stomp tressure's attempts to control the relationship into the ground.

  **Disclaimers 2 and 5 apply to this post.

  2. The opinions listed above are all tressure's own.  She does not and cannot and furthermore will not, speak for other slaves, although she tends to give broad opinons based on experience.

  5. This post has been examined, read, approved, and vetted by her Master.

 These are all great answers. Thanks you guys.

The intresting thing is, that I always viewed myself as a Dominant/Sadist not as a Mistress.  Bear in mind that I see the two as differently as sub and slave. In seeing myself that way, and then later in conversation with other Dominants, and Masters ( I hate to use that word, because it implies that I see some one as my Master, and I do not.) I find that there are very distinct things that I do, that are very Gorean things and very much the way that a Master would train a slave.

My girl has a set schedual, she has almost every hour of her day accounted for. I allow her some movement because there are a great deal of things that she has to do. I do keep her busy running errands and doing things for both her and myself.  I am hard core on ettiquite and manners. I feel that she is a direct reflection of me, and that what she does has direct bearing on my teaching and my way of things. She is a reflection of my home, my mentality and my training.  I very much want her to be the type of submissive that when I take places, other subs step up a notch. Much like what has been said, when I correct her, it is because I want others in the area to think, and to put themselves on point, so I keep her on point.

We also do things like diet control, and eating times, clothes for events, and day to day, acceptable behavior for day to day, how to address other Dominants. All kinds of neat things that submissive friends of ours have pointed out to me are very slave like behaviors that I want her to exhibit.

But, as you can tell, a great deal of the issue that I am encountering is, my experience in training has been with training male submissives, and this is a whole new ball game. So, I am not used to up front emotional things, like sulking or pouting, and I get very frustrated with that, and she gets upset. Now, having a frienship with her, for vanilla situations that we encounter, we have to have that up there, so that complicates things, and it is confusing.

I guess what I am getting at, is I feel out of my depth with the emotional things.  I am internally emotional. I dont show what I feel, I dont show how I feel, so having emotions out there like that confound me, and leave me stuttering and flustered and annoyed because I dont deal with things that way.  So, I thought that if I could get some input from other women, then my girl would not feel as alone, confused, hurt, or what have you. I may be a sadist, and I may play at humiliation, but I dont openly do the humiliation thing to the degree of openly berating her. I do correct her with simple things, a look, stating her name when she speaks out of tone, calling her by her full name, or calmly saying, " I dont want you to do this because..." I dont yell, I dont scream, I dont call names, I dont do things that way. A lady is always a lady and should conduct herself with some level of decorum, and there is a right and wrong way to handle correcting some one.

I hope that makes sense. Here again, you probably shouldnt operate a key board on 2-3 hours of sleep.

Lithi.

Greetings Mistress Lithi,

Do you have days where you feel you do nothing right? even if some one is standing over you telling you that you are?
Yes. taboo is usually frustrated with herself when she feels she can do nothing right.

Do you get emotional when you get corrected? And if so, why? What makes that better for you?
Yes, at times. taboo believes she becomes emotionally frustrated for a variety of reasons. It becomes better for taboo when she is reminded of her place and her purpose.

How do you feel the best way to correct or be corrected so that your feelings dont get hurt may be?
taboo believes that positive re-enforcement for pleasureable or successful service can help balance what might be perceived as negative re-enforcement in times when correction is necessary.

When it comes to service of a Mistress, versus service of a Master, do you feel there is a broad difference? What kind of difference do you see? Is it better? Or worse?
taboo has no experiences in service to women. she suspects there is a broad difference and the experience would be less fulfilling for her as opposed to better or worse.

Do you hope for different things from a Mistress versus what you would hope for from a Master?
taboo is not able to answer this question. she suspects her answer might be yes.

Is it harder to see a woman as a Dominant figure versus a man?
Yes.

You are on some level asking advice of howtos from women predominantly who are HELD in slavery by Men, who have mastered and enslaved them.   I am not sure if the answers of slaves would help a submissive in understanding her submission to you versus Gorean slaves surrender to their Master's mastery and enslavement.  The reason i am stressing this is because slaves of Gorean Men through the mastery and enslavement by Gorean Men learn mindsets of being a slave to those Men (Gorean Men).  There is a change in their perceptions of the world around them because they are actual slaves to men, in most cases.  

The concept that they get emotional when they are corrected can stem from them crying, or getting upset with herself or him, or pissed off at herself or him, or sulking, or pouting, or thinking the Man has lost his mind in his correction.  Why?  because a slave isn't in control of her emotions, she is a woman who has been mastered to the point where her inhibitions -- even those in how she reacts to certain things are very sensitive.  Correction is a form of negative consequence and the fact that the slave has been corrected puts her in a position of misery or defensiveness or well hell, this sucks.  And it also places them many times in a situation where they are looking for absolution in the form of then finding the security of having been pleasing in something.  A slave of a Gorean Man knows she is kept because of her value to him.   Sometimes a correction is simply a correction and a yes Master and correction of whatever it was that was insufficient is enough to get on with her day.  Sometimes, its a basket case, sometimes it anger of fuck off, etc.

What can make it better for a girl is across the board depending on the girl, sometimes getting her ass whipped will make her feel better, sometimes simply sucking it up and getting on with her day makes her feel better, sometimes speaking about it with her Master makes her feel better, sometimes crossing her eyes and sticking out her tongue at the floor she is cleaning as a consequence to her need for correction makes her feel better and sometimes NOTHING at that time but time could make her feel better.  There is no right or wrong way for a slave to feel better.  Sometimes it can be conditioned but usually hell its just a reaction that passes, if her not getting over it and feeling better draws another correction from her Master then its a concept she may not want addressed lol.

quote:

  How do you feel the best way to correct or be corrected so that your feelings don't get hurt may be?

But again, i am answering these from the crossroads of having been a slave offline for many years to a Gorean Man and now a woman who knows and understands Gor but who is free trying to figure out the world of FW of Gor.  I have an intermingling of understandings and mindsets.  So you have a combination of perceptions in my answers above.

ORIGINAL: xXLithiumXx Do you have days where you feel you do nothing right? even if some one is standing over you telling you that you are?
 Greetings, Mistress! I do have days like that sometimes.  There were days like that before I became enslaved though too.  Perhaps it is human nature to have "one of those days" from time to time.  On those days I have a tendency to feel a lower sense of self worth.  As far as someone standing over me - it depends on who that someone is.  :)  If it is the man who owns me telling me that I've done nothing wrong, I almost always feel decidedly better.   If it is someone whose opinion has very little effect on my sense of self worth, then perhaps it wouldn't matter all that much what they said. 
quote:

Do you get emotional when you get corrected? And if so, why? What makes that better for you?
 It depends on the situation and the person doing the correcting.  If I am being corrected for something really small or perhaps an absentminded mistake, then I don't get too emotional.  I thank whomever has corrected me and do my best to move on.  On the inside though, I think I always feel badly when I screw up.    If I have blundered badly and my owner corrects me - especially if that blunder made him unhappy, the emotions can be quite profound.  These are the hardest to keep internal.   If striving to please him is what my life's focus is and I screw that up, it is pretty heavy-duty.  As far as what makes it better - fixing what I screwed up usually helps a lot.  Begging forgiveness or mercy usually helps too.  And to be honest, the catharsis that is evoked from being punished also helps as well.

quote:

How do you feel the best way to correct or be corrected so that your feelings dont get hurt may be?
 I am fortunate that I am rarely yelled at by my owner but there are definitely times when it happens (*looks to Mistress Kimveri and thinks - backyard window installation*).  When I am yelled at for something I've done wrong, it is very difficult.  For me, the easiest form of correction for my own comfort level would be to be spoken to calmly about whatever it is that I have done.  I have learned over the years, however, that my feelings being hurt may or not be a priority for him.
quote:

When it comes to service of a Mistress, versus service of a Master, do you feel there is a broad difference? What kind of difference do you see? Is it better? Or worse?
 It all depends on the individual to me.  While I don't feel as comfortable in service to most women, there are some who I have come to respect and admire greatly and to those women I thrive in their service.  Because I am a woman who feels the need to primarily please men, I would think that service to men is more enjoyable for me, however, as mentioned before it definitely depends on the individual. 

quote:

Do you hope for different things from a Mistress versus what you would hope for from a Master?
 I don't know if my hopes would vary.  I would first and foremost hope that they are pleased.  I guess my hopes may vary from person to person but not necessarily from gender to gender.

quote:

Is it harder to see a woman as a Dominant figure versus a man?
 It is not harder to see a woman as a dominant figure but it is harder to envision myself being enslaved by a dominant woman.  I realize that everyone has their niche but for me personally, the mastery of a strong man is what drives me the most.  As for a woman simply being dominant, that isn't hard to envision at all.  I am a woman with a dominant personality.  *grins*  I see myself all the time!   Well wishes too you, Mistress, and thank you for picking my brain! -Cav's ally

You are on some level asking advice of howtos from women predominantly who are HELD in slavery by Men, who have mastered and enslaved them.   I am not sure if the answers of slaves would help a submissive in understanding her submission to you versus Gorean slaves surrender to their Master's mastery and enslavement.  The reason i am stressing this is because slaves of Gorean Men through the mastery and enslavement by Gorean Men learn mindsets of being a slave to those Men (Gorean Men).  There is a change in their perceptions of the world around them because they are actual slaves to men, in most cases.  

The concept that they get emotional when they are corrected can stem from them crying, or getting upset with herself or him, or pissed off at herself or him, or sulking, or pouting, or thinking the Man has lost his mind in his correction.  Why?  because a slave isn't in control of her emotions, she is a woman who has been mastered to the point where her inhibitions -- even those in how she reacts to certain things are very sensitive.  Correction is a form of negative consequence and the fact that the slave has been corrected puts her in a position of misery or defensiveness or well hell, this sucks.  And it also places them many times in a situation where they are looking for absolution in the form of then finding the security of having been pleasing in something.  A slave of a Gorean Man knows she is kept because of her value to him.   Sometimes a correction is simply a correction and a yes Master and correction of whatever it was that was insufficient is enough to get on with her day.  Sometimes, its a basket case, sometimes it anger of fuck off, etc.

What can make it better for a girl is across the board depending on the girl, sometimes getting her ass whipped will make her feel better, sometimes simply sucking it up and getting on with her day makes her feel better, sometimes speaking about it with her Master makes her feel better, sometimes crossing her eyes and sticking out her tongue at the floor she is cleaning as a consequence to her need for correction makes her feel better and sometimes NOTHING at that time but time could make her feel better.  There is no right or wrong way for a slave to feel better.  Sometimes it can be conditioned but usually hell its just a reaction that passes, if her not getting over it and feeling better draws another correction from her Master then its a concept she may not want addressed lol.

Does it matter?  Nope.  And a slave shouldn't be worried on HOW she is corrected for that decision is not up to her.  She will be corrected in the way her Master wishes her to be corrected.  This is part of the control aspect where she is not self-determining.  In my years of being a slave when i was one -- this concept would have never crossed my mind -- well Master if you would just do a, b, or c, to correct me, i would accept it with a smile.  Hell lol anything remotely like that would have had me getting my ass beat.  So a girl gets her feelings hurt.. oh well, so she pouts or sulks because her feelings are hurt, but i bet she doesn't do it again any time soon.

I understand, and have stated, that I do tend to mingle the D/s lifestyle with Gor, and that I do not follow the edict of either closely. I tend to have my own way, and with in that find parallels between the two  and what I do, so let me get that out from the gate.

Second, I have to say that the form of domination you use, and the methods you use will greatly influence the out come. I have seen this in the past, and see it now plainly.

I think, and I will always think, regardless of what any one says that how a slave or a sub feels in regards to their punishments, corrections or what have you will be relevant to how they respond and how easy life is made for them and in turn for their owner.

I think that for now, that is all I am going to say on this post, for fear of losing my point in what I would really like to say.

Greetings.. ~smiles~ 

This was harder than I thought it would be!  Some of the questions don't feel comfortable in my paradigm, so I tried to answer them honestly, yet succinctly enough that it doesn't (hopefully) come across that I'm belittling other lifestyle choices, because that is so not my intent!

Do you have days where you feel you do nothing right? even if some one is standing over you telling you that you are?
Doesn't  everyone have those days? ;)  It's definitely an issue with PMS or "The Change" but hormonal shifts aren't always the blame.. exhaustion, stress, all play a part (I've heard it said "PMS has no place on Gor".  Ok... well... PMS happens anyway... you can bite through your tongue and try to only cry while your Master is at work... but PMS is still there!)  And who said women were always rational?  ~grins~

Do you get emotional when you get corrected? And if so, why? What makes that better for you?
Well, depends on the situation.  Sometimes frustration leads to tears... and being a stubborn person (working on it...) tears turn instead to anger.  Not sure "making it better" is anything that the Master/Mistress can do anything about.. for me it's an internal response.

How do you feel the best way to correct or be corrected so that your feelings dont get hurt may be?
Errr.. I feel like I'm in a foreign country here.  ~grins~  Since most Goreans I know don't just correct so they have an excuse to stripe the girl's backside, I guess I don't *personally* feel that this is a relevent question, with all respect.  (I am in NO way saying this is not relevent to YOUR decision on how to run things, just that for me it "doesn't compute".. sorry.:(  )

When it comes to service of a Mistress, versus service of a Master, do you feel there is a broad difference? What kind of difference do you see? Is it better? Or worse?
Well, it's less sexual for *me* (read: not at all).  I'm not bisexual.  I ~could~ ~possibly~ pull off bi behavior if I had no choice, but it would be obvious that it wasn't the "norm" for me  And... since I do believe that in general that women are the "submissive" of the species, in the back of my mind I will confess that there is always a "There but for the grace of *something* go you, too, Mistress..." so I would say that it's not that I respect Free Women less, but yes, there is a difference, and to *me* it's "worse" to serve a Mistress in the sense of "being owned by a woman".  (at least hypothetically, it's never come up!)

Do you hope for different things from a Mistress versus what you would hope for from a Master?
I would hope that she would sell me to a man?  It's not the same kind of relationship...and part of the beauty is that point where the two halves meet, and that just isn't the same when serving a woman, no matter how dominant she is nor whether she sends me off to have sex with her male friends or something or not.

Is it harder to see a woman as a Dominant figure versus a man?
Yes.  It is.

Greetings Lithium,
Greetings to the Free
and the property,

These are provoking questions, well thought out.

Do you have days where you feel you do nothing right? even if some one is standing over you telling you that you are?

These days usually have to do with hormones rather than anything else, though stress, lack of sleep, etc usually contribute as well. They are also the days when i don't feel social, when i want to just hide away in my room and not interact with anyone because i am grumpy. Needless to say, as i am not a teenager, that isn't usually an option. *grin* i get through them by just gritting my teeth, doing the best i can, and making myself be satisfied with that.

Do you get emotional when you get corrected? And if so, why? What makes that better for you?

If the correction happens on the above kind of day, i may get angry about it. After all, i am doing my best. But i learned a long time ago to hold emotions off until the right time to deal with them. And venting makes it better. Once i can rant about it, i'm fine.

i have to add that i have not experienced this sort of thing while in my Master's presence -- yet. Since i am not honored to live with Him, i run into this sort of thing at work more often than not. While with my Master, i have been corrected on how to do something and was able to just mentally shrug and say to myself, "well, that's the way He wants it done." No drama involved. Perhaps because i am able to be me with no pretense at all, when i am with Him, i feel very calm, almost placid.

i remember a time when He reminded me how to do something, and i just forgot... i was turned over His knee and then told to try again. It wasn't a crushing experience. IT was like "okay, let's remember this time." i was ashamed that He had to remind me but my desire to please was the overriding emotion.

For me, after i am corrected, especially if He paddles me, i get a hug and kiss to let Him know i am still His good girl. Punishment is done dispassionately on His side, so i know it is the behavior that was wrong, not that i am 'bad'. (this is one way He is helping me recover from my previous life -- anger on His side would turn me into a rabbit)

How do you feel the best way to correct or be corrected so that your feelings dont get hurt may be?

As other girls have said, whether my feelings are hurt doesn't enter into it. i may have tried my hardest and still gotten it wrong, or i may have honestly forgotten to do something, but that doesn't excuse the error. Again, the fact that it is done without anger in His voice, that He is doing it because it must be done, that makes a difference. i know that He is not taking out His own frustrations or hurting me for pleasure but to help me grow and to correct wrong behavior. And the fact that i get reassurance after. No matter how much i screw up, i still have worth to Him and being told that makes a world of difference.


When it comes to service of a Mistress, versus service of a Master, do you feel there is a broad difference? What kind of difference do you see? Is it better? Or worse?

i have not served a Mistress. i am more intimidated by female authority figures though... in a different way.

Do you hope for different things from a Mistress versus what you would hope for from a Master?

i really don't have an answer for that.

Is it harder to see a woman as a Dominant figure versus a man?

No.


i hope my answered helped in some way.

May Your day be pleasant,


g

By and large the answers helped, and cleared things up for me. My concern in asking these things was so that my girl would see that she isnt the only one that has bad days, and that she isnt the only one who cant control her emotions, or who has emotions like she does.

I am very thankful to those of you who answered, and did so with not only an open mind, but an open heart, and who were able to be your truely graceful and respectful selves.

Thank you again,

Lithi.

Do you have days where you feel you do nothing right? even if some one is standing over you telling you that you are?


Even as a Keeper, I have days that I feel that I can't do anything right -- though if someone I'm working on a project for tells me that what I've done is ok, I relax with it. I figure that I'm probably a lot harder on myself than I need to be -- I like it that way most of the time, but on a crappy day, if they're ok with what I perceive as less than my best effort... that's just ducky.

I've also had days where, in my eyes, my servants can't do anything right -- no matter what they do, I'm going to nitpick it to death. That's just the way life is sometimes. Sometimes I'm completely AROC (anal-retentive obsessive compulsive), but they knew that coming in.

quote:

Do you get emotional when you get corrected? And if so, why? What makes that better for you?

Even as a D-type, and after years of personal work, I still tend to get defensive sometimes when I'm corrected, both in and outside of WIITWD. When I get defensive, I tend to be emotionally invested in what I've done, and correction isn't just about the -thing-... I take it as a reflection on me as a person. It doesn't happen so much any more, but I still have my days.

This is something you have to fix -inside-. I don't get defensive nearly as much now. I got over it because I write for a living. I had to deal with editorial restructuring of my writing, and not let it destroy my interest in my work, or I would have become completely insane, never sold a single piece of work, and/or not had a single editor or publisher willing to work with me. Once I figured out that correction and requesting change in my work or methods wasn't a personal attack through my writing experience, it became a lot easier to apply that to everything else in my life, including the way I presented myself in the world, and, as a result, I think that I am much more well-rounded and a better-developed person than I would have been if I'd let my fear, ego, and interest in defending my opinions stay in control of the person I was to become.

quote:

How do you feel the best way to correct or be corrected so that your feelings dont get hurt may be?


I try to focus on the action that has resulted in my displeasure, rather than general accusations of someone being a bad person or a poor servant. Aside from that, I don't think that correction should necessarily be comfortable. I think, in fact, that if corrections do -not- feel uncomfortable, growth isn't happening.

I can't control my servants' feelings, despite many opinions to the contrary, I don't believe that I should have to -try- to control what they're feeling. A servant is entitled to feel whatever xhe feels. However, I -do- expect that what xhe -expresses- and how xhe -presents- those feelings is in keeping with our relative status; ie., as the leader in the relationship, I have a right to expect certain things in a certain way, even if it is a whim of mine and there is no logical reason why I should expect it to be that way. The servant is entitled to feel that my expectations are unrealistic and unobtainable, but xhe had better respond with a sincere 'Yes, Ma'am', perhaps a few respectful questions to see how much of the dichotomy xhe can resolve, and do hir level best to come as close as possible to meeting my expectations, regardless of how xhe "feels" about it.

quote:

When it comes to service of a Mistress, versus service of a Master, do you feel there is a broad difference? What kind of difference do you see? Is it better? Or worse?


I've been on both ends of this, and to my mind, service is service. We have both in the household, and while individual expectations may vary, the gender has little or nothing to do with the expectation of quality service, and the servant's requirement to provide that quality service.

Im going to be honest, I am glad that I posted this thread, and I thank everyone that replied, I gained a great deal from it. I can also say that it did as well help my girl.

However, it has been brought to my attention that it is seen as this thread is for the slaves, so I feel the need to clarify. This thread was meant for my girl, and is involving of the thoughts and emotions that a slave may go thru at any time. So that she can understand that she is not alone. While I am sure the slave thread has a great deal of information on it, I asked specific questions in tune with what I felt my girl was going thru. But, apparently my questions are not welcome by some, and maybe in fact found offensive to them.

Never being one to follow popular ideas, (and having the ability to think on my own, I made it clear to this person that the option to just not read or participate in this thread was always there) I encourage all slaves and subs to continue to speak on this thread in regards to the things they experience or feel when it comes to being owned, or the practices that are involved in training.

So, again, thank you ladies...I am thrilled at the responces I got, and I know that they have helped kat to feel not so alone...and that is a good thing.

I look forward to hearing more, here on this board, where you are welcome.

Hi Lithi,

While your thread may indeed been more aimed towards a sub/slaves mentality/emotions etc, I feel it also was open to how a FW may feel as well. Thus why I responded and shared what I did. It is not only slave girls, that have bad days and feel their emotions, it is not only slave girls  that can err, or feel insecure. For the most part any free, FM and FW alike, are very secure in who and what they are, but that does NOT mean we do not have moments of doubt...such as..Hmm, could I have handled that differently, etc FW are very much watched and our every mannerism put out for scrutiny. Nothing wrong with that, I feel they should be I also feel a mans should be as we are both very accountable for our words and actions. (remember, only speaking from a Free's view point now)
So, in essance, try not to let people discourage you. as I tell twink all the time and other girls, be yourself and try your best, you are not going to please everyone all the time and Free certainly are not gonna make everyone happy all of the time either.
Learn all that you can and then decide if what you have learned can apply to you and your own life.Of course these are only my opinions.

I wish you well,
Maah
